ie. games that have hit in the last 6 months around. So far I'm looking to get:

Burnout Revenge
SOTC (really need to get this already)
Guitar Hero

Anything else I should look out for?

well do you like RPGs? I say get the Digital Devil Saga games if you do. Really, best of its class on consoles.

you've got a pretty good list though, er, I'd add also Soul Calibur III, but that depends on your mileage with the reported "bugs." I've encountered few.

Not really into RPG's, DDS and SMT look appealing (some of the best art ever), but then I read up on it and I KNOW I'll hate the gameplay

Is there a big enough difference between SC3 and 2? I was thinking about just getting SC2 if there isn't.

Totally understandable. I think it's the material that really sets it apart, but if you can't get over the gameplay it'll be a big disaster purchase. So it's probably best to avoid it then.

My personal opinion, and there's plenty of GAFers who I'm sure would argue, is that it's a fairly sizable difference AND leap forward. There's so many modes of course that your head can spin thinking about it, but some are admittedly throwaway. The fighting remains solid, and it has been sped up in a few areas, and I think it feels just right.

Anyway, I think it's worth it. I own SCII and I still think owning SCIII as well is worth it.

Assuming you don't have an Xbox, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One was a really fun FPS I thought. Also definitely get Burnout Revenge and Guitar Hero, great games both.

damn... I was gonna recommend the same games you are already looking to get :\

I'd probably get bashed for saying so, but if you don't have a PSP, Mega Man X Collection is worth it for X1 alone, imo. Other than that I would say Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. It's really fun. Just don't play it with the dub. That is HORRIBLE.

I think it's more likely you'd be bashed for the Curse of Darkness reccomendation.

Check out dragon quest 8 regardless of whether you are in to RPG's or not. It seems like you really appreciate good character / visual design from your current hit list. You'd probably like it.

Skip Burnout 3.5 and get King Kong/RE4 instead.

 

[Master Pain]

Buy these or I'll cut off your big toe j/k...

Shadow of the Colossus
Resident Evil 4
Killer 7
Dragon Quest 8
God of War
Ape Escape 3

also looking forward to some re-releases coming out soon
